India scaling new heights of developmen­t under PM: Yogi

- HT Correspond­ent letterschd@hindustant­imes.com

DHARAMSHAL­A : Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that India’s reputation had increased under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, and the country was also scaling new heights in developmen­t.

“Today, our nation is not only leading the world but there is no problem whose solution is possible without India,” he said, addressing an election rally at Palampur in Kangra district.

Calling himself fortunate to be in Palampur, Yogi said he was privileged to visit the land where BJP’s working committee, for the first time, passed a resolution for the constructi­on of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya in 1989.

“I am delighted to inform you that 55% constructi­on work of the Ram Mandir has been completed, and when the temple is ready by the end of 2023, it would be the largest temple in the world,” Adityanath said.

He said being in Palampur also allowed him to meet the former chief minister and founding member of BJP Shanta Kumar, and wished him good health and long life.

Paying tribute to the soldiers of Himachal Pradesh, Yogi said: “Veer Jawans” of the state have left no stone unturned to protect the nation and displayed their bravery whether it was Kargil or any other battle fought before.

“Today, the enemy can’t set an evil eye on India and promote terrorism, separatism or Naxalism in India,” he said.

Yogi also targeted Congress over Article 370 and said the party believes in “appeasemen­t and vote bank politics”.

He said the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.

Later, speaking at a rally at Anni in Kullu district, Yogi took a veiled dig at Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi stating that whenever a crisis hits the country, the brother-sister duo forget about the people of the country and care only about their family.

“Jab Desh Pe Koi Sankat Aata Hai, Dono Bhai Behan Ko Janta Nahi Yaad Aati, Nani Yaad Ati hai, Italy Wali Nani,” he alleged.

Yogi said Congress does not respect the faith of the people and cannot protect their interests, so the people should not waste their votes.
